Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:
(backbone of a giant). An Israelite encampment (Num. 33:35-36; Deut. 2:8). Compare 1 Kings 9:26; 2 Chron. 8:17; 1 Kings 22:48.
Concise Bible Dictionary:
1. Father of one of Solomon’s commissariat officers in Ramoth-gilead (1 Kings 4:13).
2. Son of Uri, another like officer in Gilead (1 Kings 4:19). At the end of this verse the AV reads “He was the only officer which was in the land.” This does not seem to agree with 1 Kings 4:13-14, for those mentioned therein were also on the east of the Jordan. The Hebrew word for “officer” in 1 Kings 4:19, though a kindred word, is not the same as in 1 Kings 4:7, 27, and may be translated “superintendent.”
